[Pics] Lupita Nyong'o's Stunning Vogue Cover Editorial Was Shot in Her Native Kenyan Village

If you do nothing else today, read Lupita Nyong’o’s incredible cover story on Vogue.com. The stunning 33-year-old actress covers the magazine’s October issue and, in the accompanying feature, discusses her journey from precocious Kenyan schoolgirl to Academy Award-winning actress. Along the way Nyong’o has had to navigate colorism and backlash from traditional Hollywood and, eventually, create her own lane which includes starring in blockbusters (Star Wars, The Jungle Book), Broadway (Eclipsed) and films that present a fresh view of Africa (Queen of Katwe, Americanah, both upcoming.)

Nyongo’s photo editorial is shot in the stunning beauty of her native Kenya, and includes members of her family, including her 96-year-old grandmother, her mother and her father.

  9. Hiya! The photo shoot was in Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya. Not a village.
    Just a correction from a Kenyan 🙂
